Complēt and OnForce composites have structural characteristics that provide stiffness, strength, and toughness, making them ideal alternatives to metals. Using these composites as a metal replacement also fosters significant weight reductions along with the time and cost savings benefits of single-step injection molding.  Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint  

Article Rethinking Materials for Automotive Aftermarket Parts Making the switch from metal to plastic using long fiber thermoplastic. Article Metal Replacement Why consider plastics in lieu of metal?

Design freedom, metal replacement and Thermally Conductive Formulations provide powerful solution for Elausa Electronics Metal replacement, design improvements and Complēt™ long fiber technology provide powerful solution for Bettcher Industries Bergamid™ polymer formulations and GLS™ TPEs replace metal and provide comfort and usability for Swiss soldiers pocket knife

A full range of colorant types are available, from transparent to heavy-metal-free opaque, and can include a range of performance additives to enhance the formulation even further. Full range of opaque and transparent colorants, including special effect colorants such as fluorescent, metallic and phosphorescent

Some of the primary benefits of engineered thermoplastics when compared to metal include: Excellent strength to weight ratios approaching even no-ferrous metals

Some manufacturers are choosing polymer-metal composites that provide the equivalent weight of metal, but also allow for the design freedom provided by thermoplastics.
